    Yep, that’s the one!

    Went to watch it yesterday but, sadly, it’s behind a paywall. I had seen an article saying it’d be free for the season so I’ll check the information again. It’s possible I tried to watch it too early. I miss it being on OTA. πŸ™

    We watched Rain Man in my psych class and would pause it every so often to go over the events in the film. It worked pretty well! πŸ™‚

    Christopher Plummer’s usually pretty good, especially his older stuff. Will check it out!

    Yep, saw it earlier this year! You didn’t miss a whole lot. πŸ˜› Gorgeous scenery beset by a dull and senseless plot without any sort of information to help immerse you in the film. No real background or anything. If they had added on ten more minutes of set up, it would have been quite fun!

    Saw the Friday the 13th reboot yesterday and it wasn’t anything to write home about. Not only did they shoehorn a missing persons plot in it which distracted from the basic premise of the series, they also changed Jason’s nature and relied a lot more on sex than the previous films.

    I need to check out some of the horror-specific streaming services at some point. There may be one that catches the eye πŸ™‚

    Also rewatched the Nightmare Before Christmas the other day. That one’s always fun! May watch Coraline again soon πŸ™‚

    Why did the bees ask the bears to bee-leaving? They weren’t bee-lieving!

    Last time I tried it, it spit out an error on starting up. Granted, that was the previous system where Windows has gotten messed up for various reasons after trying out the preview updates. Now that I have a working system, I really should give it another go. I’m sure things will work a whole lot better.

    I also have The 7th Guest sitting around. I have no idea at all where it came from. I found it in my dad’s office several years ago and he has no recollection either. Wasn’t something I ever got and I had never seen it before and he doesn’t play games other than solitaire and mahjong. It’s a complete mystery!

    I’m generally okay with that as I do sometimes play the full game if I like the trial period. Of course, a lot of times it’s too limited so you don’t get a good feel for things. I’d rather have something like a thirty day trial of the full game than an unlimited trial with limited features. Would be much better that way to see if I like it enough to pony up the money. These days, I think it’s mostly that I have trouble connecting with folks in the games but I’m not sure. I may just have to keep looking until I find the right one.

    Yep! Also works for Chrome πŸ™‚

    My phone doesn’t like the Yu-Gi-Oh card database. Whenever I browse it, it really saps the battery. πŸ™

    in reply to: Email: al********@st*********.com #1319

    Weird. Sounds like something may be misconfigured but I don’t know enough about email settings. Have you had the chance to ask them yet?

    in reply to: Random #1317

    Could be! My biggest concern is placement. Still doing some reading on it so I’m not yet sure how practical the idea is.

    Cool!

    Bill Nye is a big fan of solar sails! They’ve been doing a lot of work on them lately πŸ™‚

    Could be! Nifty preview feature. Nice to have! πŸ™‚

    Got my dog a couple of cow hooves the other day and she loves them. Put one in the living room and one in the bedroom and she prefers the one in the bedroom for some reason. The other night, she was chewing on it while I was trying to sleep πŸ˜›

    From my understanding, beef is the meat so calling it beef-tail would imply that your steak has a tail coming out of it. πŸ˜›

    Sounds delicious!

    Yep, got it! The ingredients and equipment discussion are actually in the back right before the index. And after the technical discussion about how everything interacts. Weird placement! After the forward, it has twenty pages or so of pictures of selected cakes in the book and then dives right in with the recipes after a few pages of basic tips on how to work with the various cake types. Looking forward to trying them out! Need to pick up some ingredients, though. I haven’t made a cake since the ingredient shortages started a couple years ago. I had switched to more economical goods like muffins and the like so I could stretch them further.

    Here you go! Or a bread mummy! But bread’s mummy is really wheat and yeast. Which one is dad? It’s a good question!

    in reply to: Cooking #1311

    Several years ago, scientists found that yeast from bread in the pyramids was still living after thousands of years. Of course, they made bread from it to see what would happen πŸ˜›

    I’ll see if I can dig up the article!

    Magnetic Fusion Plasma Engines Could Carry us Across the Solar System and Into Interstellar Space

    We’re getting there! Though, I still feel that the future of propulsion lies in non-conventional methods and utilizes quantum states

    Edit:

    Why is the link being displayed as a preview…? Is that a new feature introduced recently? Didn’t see it in the release notes of it is

    Looks like they’re still working on EE support. Will keep an eye on it!

    in reply to: Sounds and Music #1303

    First one works now!

    Sounds like my dog when she snores πŸ˜›

    in reply to: Films & TV Shows #1302

    Scream 2 had better satire but the first film had more depth to the characters. Overall, they were both very good films.

    I still need to watch Rainman again. Kind of got distracted watching all these goodies πŸ˜›

    in reply to: VR Controlled Motors #1298

    There’s a very important change with the R4 that needs to be mentioned: it uses USB-C to connect to the board instead of the square printer connector (whatever it’s called) and doesn’t come with the cable but they do sell one. Fortunately, I have some extras around but it’s definitely something to be aware of.

    Sounds good πŸ™‚

    Was hoping to start looking at some of the plugins we mentioned but then the old site did its belly flop. Hopefully that won’t be too much trouble to repair!

    in reply to: Plugins #1296

    We touched on this before in Teams but it’d be nice to add MFA as an option at some point

    in reply to: All Things Site and Organizational #1293

    Nope, they’re taking their time! I’ve been applying the minor plugin updates as they come in, though. Nothing major so far for them, just bug fixes πŸ™‚

    Good idea. We’ll probably want to thread for general reminders like that, such as we had for the Linode in the Teams wiki πŸ™‚

    in reply to: Sounds and Music #1292

    Looks like they’re region locked. Can’t view them over here πŸ™

    How ’bout some Jimi Hendrix?

    in reply to: Films & TV Shows #1289

    So far, I’ve only managed to watch the first one. Haven’t had the chance to watch the other ones yet but I really enjoyed it!

    Going to try and watch the Great Pumpkin soon. That’s always fun πŸ™‚

    in reply to: Security Issues with Cleantalk #1288

    Here you go πŸ™‚

    Looks like they simply updated the header to point to the SSL enabled link to opensource.org

    in reply to: Move to VentraIP #1287

    πŸ™

    I thought we had a copy of it somewhere but it’s not in the Teams’ Wiki archive. Perhaps it was in a thread over there?

    Hopefully support can figure it out!

    Probably a good idea to wait to make too many additional changes until after this is resolved in the case things need to be restored πŸ™‚
